Chapter 9: Zombies
Early in the morning, as soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Zixia and Qinglong sitting in the middle of the hall, I stretched my waist and smiled and said, "You guys got up early, ah! I don't know what happened last night, I was very tired, and I felt my whole body aches." =”
Qinglong and Zixia looked at me and drank their tea silently, I frowned in confusion, it seemed that something had happened, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Qinglong sighed and stood up to me and said, "Hey, boss, there were a few zombies in this town last night. ”
"Zombies?" I said, surprised
Qinglong nodded: "Yes, at first, I thought that this town was eerie, it was originally a dead city, and when we first entered the city, we thought that there were no people here, but then those people made us change our minds." ”
Qinglong paused for a moment, and Zixia said again, "Brother Shixiong, do you remember that someone knocked on the door last night?"
"Remember, don't we all suspect that there's something wrong with the shopkeeper?" I said
"Actually, the boss is just an ordinary person, as for who knocked on the door last night we didn't find out, but when we went to the front hall this morning, the shopkeeper told me that there are more zombies in the town these days, so let's not run around. Zixia said
"Did you ask where these zombies came from?" I asked
Qinglong said: "I asked, I started to think that this place is close to Yinshan, and the zombies there ran here, but the shopkeeper said that these zombies are not those dirty things in Yinshan, Yinshan and Youzhou City have an enchantment, so anything there will not break in, presumably there is something strange in this town." ”
"Is there a weirdness in town?" I frowned, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Eh, why don't you see Xue Qin?"
Zixia said slowly: "Miss Xue Qin has gone out to investigate the situation, Brother Shixiong, you can rest assured, Miss Xue Qin's realm is very high, she will be fine, I think she will come back soon." ”
As soon as Zixia finished speaking, she heard the door "creak" open, only to see Xue Qin walk in, and then closed the door with her backhand.
When we saw Xue Qin come in, we all walked over, and I asked, "Are you okay?"
Xue Qin looked at Zixia and Qinglong, then looked at me and said, "It's okay, I have already explored outside just now." ”
"How's that going?" I said
Zixia said, "Brother Shixiong, let Miss Xue Qin drink saliva first." ”
"Oh, yes, I was wrong, Qinglong, pour Xue Qin a glass of water, let's sit down and say. I said to Qinglong, and then we all sat down.
Xue Qin took a sip of water and put down the cup and said, "I just found out that these zombies are not original, but there is an evil skill that is cultivated by living people, and it is that kind of martial arts that makes there more zombies in this city." ”
"There is still such a martial art?" Qinglong said in surprise
I thought for a moment and said: "Yes, there are thousands of martial arts in the world, there are good and evil, and they are particularly vicious, this kind of practice of using living people as cultivation tools is very vicious, and it is to suck the blood and essence of living people dry, and purely turn into a dry corpse, but the three souls and seven spirits of these dead people are not separated from the body, if my guess is right, that person must be cultivating underneath, the yin qi underneath is originally heavy, and this place is relatively close to Yin Mountain, so that these dry corpses turned into zombies and wandered back and forth in the town. ”
"Isn't that practitioner afraid of zombies attacking him?" asked Qinglong
Xue Qin shook his head: "That person won't be afraid at all, what he wants is such a result, it is possible that that person has not only practiced such a vicious exercise, but also learned puppet techniques." ”
"Puppetry?" Qinglong was surprised, "Puppetry, I've heard of puppetry, that is, you control it with things, let it do anything for you, without being resisted, and only by cutting off the head will it die, otherwise it will always be immortal, but it has no thought and no life." ”
"Oops. I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xue Qin, have you found out that the situation in this town is not a dead city as we see, there are only a few people." ”
Xue Qin shook his head and said, "There are actually not many people here, I have explored hundreds of them, but they have been haunted recently, so they have become so deserted." ”
"There must be something strange in this, the charming and charming woman I saw on the street is very suspicious, and we have to look for the search artifact here, we can only find the real reason why these zombies are walking around first, those are just our guesses just now, and we will be more careful from today onwards. I said
Everyone agreed with what I said, and at this moment, Xue Qin took out a palm-sized thing from his arms and handed it to me, I asked, "What is this?" and then took the thing in Xue Qin's hand, "Eh, I really want to see this arrow somewhere." ”
After hearing this, Xue Qin took out a feather tail from his arms, and I put the two things together, and my body couldn't help but tremble, and everyone saw my reaction, and asked, "What's the matter? Have you ever seen such a thing?"
I nodded: "Yes, this is a white feather arrow, and behind the white feather arrow is a mysterious person, I never know who this mysterious person is, but he has been following me." ”
"What? Someone has been following you, so what can I do?" Qinglong and Zixia asked in surprise
Xue Qin comforted: "It's okay, although that person has always followed the world...... Wang Shixiong, but he did not have any ill intentions against him, and certainly did not save him when he was in danger. ”
"yes, so we'd better be careful, okay, let's go out and get some food, and then we'll go and find out what's going on?" I said
Zixia said worriedly: "Brother Shixiong, although you have a martial arts realm now, but you lack immortal arts, I am afraid that if you want to deal with the enemy in the dark, I am afraid that ......" I held Zixia's hand and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine, after those days of cultivation, my seal has been loosened, and there is already a true yuan power circulating." ”
When Qinglong and Xue Qin turned their faces away when they saw me treating Zixia like this, and then coughed dryly twice, Xue Qin felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Zixia and I let go of our hands when we heard Qinglong and Xue Qin's coughs, and Zixia said, "Really, that's great, it won't be long before you can recover your strength, maybe you can really break through to a higher realm like the Red Lotus Mentor." ”
I smiled and said, "Hehe, it's possible, but now I'm an ordinary person with a very low realm, I'm hungry now, so let's go eat first." ”
Everyone shook their heads, sighed, and said, "Hey, you can still eat after this situation." ”
I said: "People are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, I'm not like you are all martial arts masters, I'm just an ordinary person." ”
After I finished speaking, I walked out of the courtyard first, and quickly came to the front hall to ask the shopkeeper for a few dishes, Qinglong, Xue Qin, and Zixia then walked in and sat next to me.
We looked into the front hall, and Qinglong said curiously, "What's going on? Why is this so lively? It doesn't look like there are any zombies at all." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper came over and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, the zombies you are talking about really exist, but they only appear at night, and you can't see them during the day." ”
"I see, but I found that the streets are very neat and clean on the street just now, what is going on?" Xue Qin asked
The shopkeeper said: "Oh, you say this, it was only swept today, I heard others say that the streets are paved with expulsion powder, these expulsion powder can resist those zombies roaming around at night, as long as they smell the breath of the living, they will kill it, even if the doors and windows are closed, it is useless, but we did it after the master came." ”
"Who is he?" I wondered
Dian Xiaoer said: "He is the legendary Shushan faction Yifeng who slays demons and destroys demons for the human world. ”
"What? Brother Yifeng is here too? It seems that he is fine, but I don't know where he is now?" I said to myself
At this time, a handsome and dashing man with a sword full of aura on his back, when the shopkeeper saw him, he excitedly said to us: "Haha, say Cao Cao Cao arrived, he is the one."
Expert. ”
I turned my head and stood up excitedly and said, "Brother Yi, are we meeting again?"
Yifeng walked up to me with a blank face, and said coldly, "Brother Wang, why are you here?"
I said, "It's a long story, let's sit down." ”
After we sat down, I said, "Brother Yifeng, I heard that Shushan has been closed, aren't you also injured?"
Yi Feng said: "It's the mountain closed, that's because of the well of people and demons, my injury is the same as last time, maybe I practiced too much, and I went crazy, the master and the master, the elders let me come out to practice after they healed me, and talked about where the crack between the man and the demon was, but when I passed by here, I felt that the demon aura here was very heavy and I came here." ”
"I see, Brother Yi, you have to take care, we are looking for the rift between the man and the demon. I said
Yi Feng asked again: "I heard that Brother Wang was seriously injured in the battle of the Qionghua faction, and I don't know what happened to you after we separated, but then I heard that Li Xiaoyao's predecessor said that you only have one breath left, so I was very worried and wanted to go to see you."
Yifeng gasped and took a sip of water and said, "Later, news came that you had been rescued, but you had lost all your skills. ”
"Brother Yi is right, I have the realm of the foundation building period now, okay, don't talk about this, haha, I didn't expect Brother Yi to say so much this time. I changed the subject
At this time, the food had already come up, so I grabbed my chopsticks and said, "Hehe, you are all cultivation masters who don't eat, but it's not like me, I'm very hungry now, so you can drink some wine and eat some fruit." ”
"Thank you, Brother Wang. Leaning on the wind said
Then I heard a person stumbling in, and then crawled to the ground: "Oops!"
The shopkeeper saw the man lying on the ground and ran over, "What's the matter with you? Don't you see that I have a lot of customers here? It's okay to leave quickly." ”
The man stumbled and said, "No, the zombies are coming." ”
Everyone stood up when they heard the man say about the zombie, and they all looked very panicked, and we all stood up after hearing this, and Yifeng came up to help the man up and asked, "Where are the zombies?"
The man lay on the ground and trembled his hands, and said, "There are more than a dozen of them in the square on the west side of the city, and they are coming towards us. ”
After hearing this, Yifeng stood up and said, "More than a dozen? After saying that, Yifeng walked out of the inn and rushed towards the west of the city.
I said to Zixia, "Let's go check it out." ”
After saying that, we also ran towards the west of the city, and after a short time we came to a place not far from the west of the city and stopped, we heard the sound of "roar", and saw those people swaying towards us.
I said, "Be careful, these zombies can come out during the day now, and it seems that the person's realm has improved a lot." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the zombies came up to us at a rapid pace, "Oh no, they're coming." Qinglong shouted
Then we all ran to another street, and we had to find another way out of the street, and at the end of the street we saw that Ivewind was fighting with the zombies.
At this time, Xue Qin had already stepped forward to help Yifeng fight those zombies, and when Yifeng stabbed his sword into the chest of a zombie, he saw that the zombie actually waved his hand to grab Yifeng's chest, and Yifeng stepped back and cut off his head.
When he was dealing with the other zombies, the head of the previous zombie slowly merged with the body, "Oh no, they are not ordinary zombies. ”
"So what the hell is going on with them? the heads have been cut off and they can still be put together, so what should we do?" asked Qinglong
I shook my head: "I don't know, I've never seen such a strange scene, it seems that this needs to be considered in the long run." ”
At this time, Leaning Wind flew over and said, "Hurry up and get into the air." ”
After saying that, Yifeng grabbed me and flew into the air with my sword, Qinglong, Xue Qin, and Zixia also flew into the air, only to see the zombies below jumping up one by one to catch us, fortunately we flew relatively high, otherwise we were really caught by zombies.
"Brother Yi, what the hell is going on? the zombies have all their heads cut off and can still be resurrected, so what should I do?" I asked
"When I was fighting with zombies just now, I found that they were afraid of bells. ”
"I'm afraid that the bell will be easy to do, we just need to let everyone have that bell in their hands. Qinglong said
Yifeng nodded: "This is only a temporary strategy, if you want to get rid of all these zombies, you must find the root cause." ”
"Yes, Brother Yifeng, let's go back and tell the rest of the town about this first, so that they can be prepared and not be killed by those zombies. I said
"Okay, let's go back first. After saying that, Yifeng flew back to the inn with me.
"You see, they're back. The crowd cheered happily
